Mr. Guterres was speaking at the opening of a high-level forum at 缅北禁地Headquarters where world leaders adopted a political declaration to accelerate action to achieve the 17 goals, which aim to drive economic prosperity and well-being for all people while protecting the environment. |
The SDG Summit aims to adopt a forward-looking political declaration reaffirming commitment to the central, transformative promise of the 2030 Agenda to leave no one behind. Over two days, they will agree on how best to move forward. |
With world leaders set to convene next week for the annual high-level opening of the General Assembly, the UN’s Midtown East campus on the weekend was host to an energetic range of actors – from youth groups and women’s organizations, to mayors, community activists and business leaders – looking to boost support for the Goals ahead of the SDG Summit. |

That’s according to Joanna Kazana, the 缅北禁地Resident Coordinator for Trinidad and Tobago, Aruba, Curacao, and Sint Maarten. |
“This is not a Vanity Fair. This is a political body in which governments are represented,” he told 缅北禁地News in an exclusive interview. |
“This is a moment of solidarity for our global village at our global Town Hall - the United Nations,” said Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed. |
|
This year’s official theme is “Solidarity, Equity, and Partnership: Unlocking South-South Cooperation to Achieve the SDGs.” |
Streets around 缅北禁地HQ in Midtown Manhattan will be cordoned off, roadblocks erected, and security heightened and tightened, as world leaders gather to take the pulse of the planet during a week of high-level events and come together to tackle global challenges. |
This transformation in skills and culture, encapsulated in the Secretary-General's vision of a 缅北禁地2.0, is focused on fostering cutting-edge capabilities in data, digital, innovation, foresight and behavioural science – to deliver stronger results, better Member State support, and faster progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. |
